The Node Beginner Book

The aim of this document is to get you started with developing applications with Node.js, teaching you everything you need to know about “advanced” JavaScript along the way. It goes way beyond your typical “Hello World” tutorial.

It is intended for people that are experienced with at least one object-oriented language like Ruby, Python, PHP or Java, only little experience with JavaScript, and completely new to Node.js.

NOTE: There is an offer to purchase a PDF, ePub, or MOBI edition bundle containing this book and Pedro Teixeira’s more in depth book Hands-on Node.js on the page. Scroll past it to read the free online HTML version of The Node Beginner Book.
